The most likely cause of this is that the washer transmission has a defective bearing.

Your maytag is really an amana and the bearings are bad. Yes it does cost a lot. If i were you i would buy another washer. Get a whirlpool. (whirlpool now owns maytag)

SOURCE: agitator doesn't spin during wash cycle

If The washer won't agitate
Check to make sure no clothing got wrapped around the agitator. Check the lid switch, timer, and drive belt, other potential causes, such as a bad transmission or bad agitate/spin solenoid, but they are much more involved.
if the washer won't spin, the lid switch, timer, drive belt, transmission, or agitate/spin solenoid could be the cause here as well. Sometimes if the load is unbalanced or too heavy, the washer won't spin. Take some of the clothes out and try the spin cycle again with a lighter load.

Here are the steps to replace the agitator.
1: Take the fabric softener dispenser off and pry off the agitator lid.
2: Use a socket wrench with an extension bar to remove the stud and seal.
3: Remove the agitator top and bottom.
4: Check the agitator clutch assembly (located in the agitator top) for excessive wear.
5: To replace, just reverse the directions.

What is causing washer to be very loud and bounce when spinning

When you did not overload it, the only reason I can think of is a bad shock-absorber. When this happens all the time you are washing, it must be that.
Sometimes every thing in the machine clumps together and you have the same effect. If this does not happen all the time, don't worry.

My GE washer acts as though it is off balance but redistributing weight does not help. The surface is level and checked with a level. Any other ideas?

When my washer is on the last spin it is very loud, almost like it needs a muffler

You didn't say what model washer you have, but it sounds like you have a bad spin bearing. When bearing is bad it can be very noisey during spin, like a helicopter taking off. This means your washer needs a bearing and seals overhaul. This is generally a very expensive repair unless your washer is under some kind of warranty. The spin water seal has more than likely been slowly leaking, causing bearing to go bad.
